Summary

Ps 202 Ernest S Jenkyns is an elementary school in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 239 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #19, which is ranked 726 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ps 202 Ernest S Jenkyns consistently performs below the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency on the New York State Assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency was 19.35% compared to the district's 51.98% and the state's 54.15%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with female students and minority students performing below their peers statewide. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 90.51% to 94.74% over the past few years, indicating a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students.

Nearby schools, such as Ps 224 Hale A Woodruff, Ps 273 Wortman, and Ps 158 Warwick, also struggle with low academic performance and high concentrations of economically disadvantaged students, suggesting that the challenges faced by Ps 202 Ernest S Jenkyns are not unique to the school. However, some schools outside the district, like Brooklyn Scholars Charter School and Imagine Me Leadership Charter School, demonstrate higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math, indicating that there may be opportunities to learn from their strategies and approaches.
